The internet always was and always will be an altered reality.
Will MAGA 2.0 be Pride?
Nikki Hayley's campaign is about how not enough americans are proud of our country, and that we need a new generation of leaders to make people proud of our country. Right up there next to this is,“lean into that idea that America is not racist, and we should be proud of who we are as Americans. Generations are being taught to hate America. We need to renew our American pride and stop apologizing for our founding values,”

"Nikki Haley learne that there is no racism in America growing up in a town where the railroad divided the white from the black people"Meatball Ron as a song

“America has always been great and has never done anything wrong” is so deeply ignorant, stagnant, and downright racist. It disappoints me that the democrats consistently fail to tap into believing in the ideals we were founded on and the sort of patriotism that involves wanting to rise up to our potential and best moments. They could conceivably argue the right hates America in its enforcement of the status quo…

The U.S. House Judiciary Committee has issued subpoenas to Apple's CEO, as well as CEO's of numerous other big tech companies for "suppressing free speech".
This all goes back to the GOP's war against big tech, accusing them of suppressing the conservative voice during the pandemic, when many big tech companies censored or placed disclaimers on disinformation.

Another train derailment. This time in Michigan. I think this is the 4th in 2 weeks? Also had a hazardous material car derail. Thankfully not nearly as bad as Ohio
You know, now that you mention it. I have leard next to little reporting on the train wreck(s).
I'm only seeing it just now on CNNs home page days after it happened.

Two weeks after a massive Norfolk Southern train carrying toxic chemicals derailed and burst into flames just outside East Palestine, Ohio, railroad workers have confirmed to CBS News that the train, which originated in Madison, Illinois, “broke down” the evening of February 1, two days prior to the crash.
Speaking anonymously out of fear of retaliation from the corporation, the workers told CBS that they had major safety concerns prior to the crash due to the train’s length and weight—nearly two miles (2.8 km) long and 18,000 tons—which they said were factors in the derailment.
“We shouldn’t be running trains that are 150 car lengths long,” one of the workers told CBS. “There should be some limitations to the weight and the length of the trains. In this case, had the train not been 18,000 tons, it’s very likely the effects of the derailment would have been mitigated,” they added.

Railroad workers confirm “nasty” toxic train “broke down” two days prior to crash in East Palestine, Ohio
New details confirm that the February 3 crash could have been prevented had workers' warnings been heeded regarding profit-driven policies, such as Precision Scheduled Railroading.

And strike breaking Biden/Congress should be held accountable for their role in what is one of the greatest ecological disasters in our lives. The lack of attention and outrage over this is disturbing.

If you read into the article more, it cites that the PRS schedule that workers were continuously complaining about (and wanted to remove as one of their strike demands) was a direct cause of this disaster.

That's a standard waiver and simply covers any damages in the course of testing. They're not having people sign "you can't blame us for the disaster" waivers.
